REO Financing Is Available

Financing is available to get borrowers into bank-owned properties. Even though there is not the wide variety of mortgage products that were around a few years ago, prospective home-buyers can get loans thru FHA, VA and of course, conventioanl means.

Yes, if you are an independent contractor and cannot show a W-2 that you get from your employer, it's much more difficult to find somebody to finance you, but it can be done.

If you have the right person helping you and have steady income, pay your bills in a timely manner, and if your debt ratio is reasonable, you can get a loan to buy a house. The areas that present more of a challenge are the higher priced areas where VA and FHA financing is topped out. This would at the $700,000 level and higher. Jumbo loans are still difficult to locate. But the other markets are still very active.

Opportunities at the local level still exist to buy homes. Rehab loans enable borrowers to take a home that needs work and do their own repairs. FHA 203(k) loans permit a buyer to purchase a house and establish an escrow with the money they need to fix it up the way they want. This is very exciting because you can get a great deal, have a house that is nice and it's fixed up the way you want it, financed, all in one package.

Many are waiting for the foreclosure pipeline to open during the second and third quarters of 2010. Some areas in the United States still need to see further value decline before foreclosures go through the pipeline and the overall housing market picks up, putting more REO properties back on the market.

At that point, prices for properties all over the nation will get back in the situation where they are increasing, not at the levels created in the bubble, but at traditional levels where you have a 2%, 3% and 4% appreciation per year.

One positive thing that has come out of the real estate market crash is that prices have come back down to where people who could not afford to buy three years ago can now afford to purchase a home.

They are now looking at an affordable price range for the type and size of house they need. These people are still interested in buying and want to buy.

Today, there are houses that have lost 50% or more in value and the industry has never before seen such dramatic percentage drops.

Another plus for home buyers is that interest rates continue to remain low, nothing like back in the early 1980's where they were as high as 19%. For most, it was very difficult back then to sell a home (unless they used seller financing which was plentiful) because the rates were so high and nobody could afford financing. Many products that we are familiar with today, originated back then because no one could afford to get a 19% fixed-rate loan.

The mortgage industry changes every year and no matter how long you have been in it, there are things that are new and quite exciting, especially the technology. More and more people are shopping for their homes on the internet.

It may take 5, 10, 15 years or even longer for the prices to rebound to reasonable market levels and now is the perfect time for consumers to begin looking.

For those looking for a good home loan, they should educate themselves to work with an agent and understand what the market is so they can get a good buy on a property and not waste their time throwing out rediculous low-ball offers that end up not getting accepted while somebody else scoops up the home they wanted by somebody who came in with a more reasonable offer.

New Rules That Could Prevent Your Approval for a Low Rate Mortgage

For any clients applying for a mortgage after June 1, 2010, an updated credit report will be pulled after your loan is approved and prior to closing. This could result in a delay at closing, additional documentation, or a worst case scenario of reversing the decision based on the new credit report and score.

For clients who apply prior to June 1, and close prior to July 30th, the current rules apply, which state credit must be less than 60 days old at closing, which means nothing will change from the initial estimates, and once you are approved there is no additional information needed.


For those clients who prefer a "Hybrid Loan", fixed for a period of 5, 7, or 10 years, you must now qualify at the intial rate +2%. This means a customer who now qualifies at 3.75%, must qualify at 5.75% to be approved.

While not a large portion of loans being done are these 5, 7, and 10 year ARMS, it could result in higher rates across the board for clients.


Now is the time to apply. Get paid for getting a loan or for referring others. Just go to:

Can Home Prices Increase With 2 Stones Around Their Necks?

As you may know, our government has created many programs to aid homeowners in keeping their houses. This includes loan modification and requiring banks accept short sales.

So, how's that working? Well, the latest report show that foreclosures have increase by 51%. Many talking heads on the financial networks and many so called "real estate gurus" said the bottom was here or very near. We did not stick our heads in the sand and believe the garbage they were spewing forth day after day. We knew the worst was to come and that real estate was not going to be improving anytime soon.

So, the bottom is really here now with the latest figures? Have the real estate gurus considered the 7.9 million homes that will have to come to market?

Do you think that will help real estate price improvements. That's like trying to swim upstream with a lead weight around your neck. It ain't gonna happen!!

Oh, let's not forget, the market is signaling that interest rates are going to move higher. Just another stone around the neck!

Carpe Diem is Latin for "seize the day" -- in other words, enjoy the present, as opposed to placing all hope in the future.

How To Make Your Online Business Profitable

By: Larry Potter


There has never been a better time to start a business - not necessarily a brand-new business - than now in this economy. You could even start something new with an online business that you already have in operation. Perhaps you could add video to your website with a free program like Jing or Photo Story 3 for Windows which is a free download, or create a series of follow-up emails with a service like Aweber or start placing ads on Backpage, Epage and Adlandpro.



For the true entrepreneur, now is always the time to make improvements to your business. You want to stop doing things that are not working and do more of what's working for you.



So, how do you know what to focus on first when you have a long list of things you want to try?



That's not too hard, just put your efforts into the one that will generate the most profits that most closely matches the core purpose of your online (or off) business or your stated conversion goal.



Suppose your main focus is to build a subscriber list that you want to market products or services to. You need to take a little time and decide what would give you the best return on your investment of money and time. Maybe you need to write more articles, or consider paid search advertising or test your landing pages for an online business.



I've found that the best combination is writing articles that will drive free (organic) search engine traffic to one of your simple landing pages and paid search advertising.



Your landing page should offer a free report on your topic of choice. Those who are interested in that topic will sign up. You deliver the report and follow up with ongoing e-mails that deliver more information. That's where services like Aweber come in handy and allow you to automate the process. Always stay on topic though and don't make each mail an ad, provide useful information along the way.



For the paid advertising, you could open a Google AdWords account and create a single ad.



Surely, you can give up one hour of watching television or surfing the Web to work on your Internet business. Did you know that in a recent report it was determined that the average American spends almost 1750 hours watching television in a one year. That comes out to 145 hours per month, which is more than six 24-hour days in front of the TV every month. If you are serious about having a successful business you can give up one of those five hours a day spent on television or surfing.



We all have the same 24 hours each day, but how we spend them is very important. Stop right now and figure out how to use some of those hours to make progress on your online business goals. There's no excuse not to. Do it now.

A Secret Tool To Help Sell Your Properties That Need Work

The HUD 203K program is awesome for selling your houses when doing short sales and foreclosures. It can also be great if you’re buying and holding.

It is to be used with properties that need repairs or need to be rehabbed. The HUD 203k program does not loan the money, they insure the money for the lender making the loan.

It is excellent for investors in the foreclosure and short sale arena, because you can now sell to potential buyers who get qualified for the HUD 203K program. It’s also a great tool for real estate agents that deal with short sales and foreclosures.

This loan program is different than a typical rehab loan, because the loan is made in full and set as a long term loan from the beginning, based on the estimated “after repaired” value. The purchase is made, and repair funds are put into escrow and used as needed.

The eligible property must be a 1-4 unit property that is more than a year old. Also, a single family home can be converted to multi-family, up to four units, or a multi-family can be converted to single.

You should know about it when doing your short sale and foreclosure investments, or even just wholesaling! It is a great tool for when it comes to finding buyers, or providing ideas for their financing. It also keeps you from having to do rehabs yourself before selling.

Just find it, get it under contract, and sell it! This is an excellent tool for short sale and foreclosure businesses.

You can get more info at: http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/203k/203kabou.cfm

And don't forget, if you have rentals, you can get loan mods on them and increase your cash flow without raising the rents. We have one lady who has ten houses she wants loan mods on. You don't even have to be in arrears either! Get more info by filling out the form in the upper right hand side here.
